Montana Blew the Last Game

Montana had a big test in the last game against Portland State, and late in the game, the defense had some lapses, leading to the overtime defeat. The defense gave up 16 points in the overtime period. They allowed Terry Williams to put up 21 points and grab 11 rebounds. Money Williams had one of Montana’s best games of this college career, putting up 36 points, four rebounds, and three assists. The rest of the offense didn’t step up outside of Williams. Two games ago, Montana scored 60 points against Sacramento State, and they ended up winning by six points. They are going to need that defense back in this game. 

Montana has a 21-9 record overall, and they have gone 11-1 at home. They have also been decent at covering the spread, sitting at 13-11-3. Montana wants to push the pace, and they are averaging 76.33 points per game. The defense has been a problem at times, but the offense has usually made up for it. Malik Moore has been the top player, averaging 13.2 points, but this is a balanced team. Six different players are averaging at least 11 points per game. 

Why Montana Will Beat Eastern Washington

• Montana has won each of its last 16 night games at Dahlberg Arena/Robin Selvig Court against non-AP-ranked opponents.
• Eastern Washington has lost eight of its last nine night games against Conference opponents.
• Eastern Washington has lost the first half in each of its last five games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Eastern Washington Has Issues

This isn’t the same Eastern Washington team as years past, and they are ice-cold heading into this game. Eastern Washington scored only 54 points against Idaho State on Saturday, leading to the 24-point defeat. Andrew Cook put up 24 points, but there was no actual offensive production outside of him. Two games ago against Weber State, Eastern Washington gave up only 66 points, but the offense only managed 64. The offense must be better if they want any chance in this game. 

Eastern Washington has a 10-20 record overall, and they have gone 7-19-2 against the spread. The offense averages 71.9 points per game, but their defense gives up 75.5 points. The offense will need to be better, but they also can’t give up 90 points again and expect to have any chance to. Guard Andrew Cook has been the top offensive player, averaging 15.9 points while shooting 54.6 percent from the field. 

Total Points Facts

• Eight of Montana’s last 10 games have produced a total of 146+ points.
• Six of Eastern Washington’s last eight road night games against Conference opponents have produced a total of 148+ points.

Eastern Washington vs Montana Prediction

Montana has been dominant at home this season, and they already know what it feels like to beat up Eastern Washington. The first time these two teams faced off, Montana scored 91 points, and they will reach that number here. Montana has too many scoring options, and Eastern Washington doesn’t have many scoring options. Eastern Washington won’t get the number they made it to in the first game, and Montana will cruise. Montana is 3-0-1 against the spread in their last four games following a straight-up loss. Back Montana against the spread here.
